Responsible growth, green spaces and community safety are top of mind for Campbell River city council candidate Brittany Colville.
She has lived in the community since 2020 and said she wants to have a positive impact on the community.
“I just want to keep seeing our community be built in a way where everybody is going to be flourishing,” she said. “A lot of people are craving that sense of community and connection and I believe that local government really has the ability to make those positive impacts directly in peoples’ lives, more so than the provincial and federal governments.”
She studied political science at the University of British Columbia and is a renewable energy technologist by trade. She said she has worked in government, renewable energy, technology and small business and runs a small dog-walking business in Campbell River.
Colville said she wants to advocate for transparency in government if elected and would like to see citizen advisory committees in the community.
“There seems to be a general sentiment around the fact that people might not feel like they have been properly consulted when it comes to different projects that are happening around our communities.”
She said she is encouraged by the previous council’s investments in infrastructure and community safety, as well as its ability to secure funding for housing projects.
“We are finally also seeing some major upgrades, especially around the Erickson Road renewal project, along with water, sewer and other projects around town,” she said.
Election day is Oct. 17.
